You would think NKY/Cinci area is ran by people from Wisconsin or Minnesota sometimes. They seemingly don't like to issue winter weather storm watches or warnings unless it's gonna be iced or well over a few inches of snow. We've got A LOT of hills and twisty roads, all the way up here in Cincitucky too.
